Just got an idea. Here's how it goes.
N's parents are alive. But they got rid of N because of his general social awkwardness. He wanted to talk to Pokemon and only Pokemon. So he went to be with them when his parents left him. Ghetsis, who is completely insane, realizes that by using legendaries he can create a world power. But because legendaries stand for good, not evil (in most cases anyway) he knew he'd have to try to contact and speak with Pokemon. He heard rumors of a strange forest child who could speak to Pokemon, so he stalks him and tries to become a father figure to N. One day he approaches and talks to him, and He tries to give N what he wants to get what he himself wants.

there's pretty good rumor out there that N is a zoroark.. I don't beleive it... but the rumor is pretty scary lol

BEST-RUMOR-EVER! Well, it may make more sense than what you think: you know the White and Black flashback... how could Zoroark know stuff enough to tell the player details of the conversation? LOOK - at the end of the flashback, it is revealed that N was listening from downstairs!

What if N got lost in a forest when he was young, then was raised by Zoroark? Although I think N being a Zoroark who thinks he's a human seems likelier. After all, that's the sort of thing you'd expect from a Nintendo game, isn't it?

The first one I find better. N being a Zoroark would kinda ruin his character for me.

Maybe N's parents knew N was "special" and they had to hide him in the forest away from Ghetsis. Ghetsis found N's parents and trapped them until they said where he was. Nobody knows anything else about the parents from that day.
Meanwhile Zoroark finds N stranded in the forest and takes him in. N becomes best friends with the Zoroark's Zoura and a darmanitan and a few other pokemon.
Then Ghetsis comes and takes N a few years later and pretends to be N's farther even though N wouldn't remember who his farther was so Ghetsis could easily act like it.
Thats what I think happened

I have a warped theory on this. I saw it on the villains page and it has always made sense to me. What we know is that Ghetsis fostered N as he knew he would never be accepted as the 'Hero' . He used Anthea and Concordia to keep N innocent to further his plans.He made him look aftter injured pokemon so he had a really deep bond with them(hence why he can speak to them. Now then onto the speculation Ghetsis intentionally chose a child who resembled him for three reasons 1.personal vanity 2. to cement his position as the child's father 3. so that the rest of team plasma would accept him as the king. Now what i believe is that the child he selected was in fact an illegitimate child of Ghetsis that he didn't know he had so they are actually father and son just neither know it.

When N was born, his parents abandoned him in the forest. His natural ability to communicate with Pokemon came in handy when the forest Pokemon approached him. One day, Ghetsis heard about a person (N) with these natural abilities, and set out to find him. Upon finding him, N was taken under Ghetsis' wing and raised him for secretly evil purposes ever since.

N being a Zoroark in disguise is something I never thought about and is interesting, but I still lean on the theory N really is Ghetsis's son and that he's just that sadistic and psychotic enough to screw with N's head like that(they resemble each other too much for me to believe he was adopted).

Its possible Ghetsis isn't Ns father, and tries to resemble him - their hair is the only similarity, really.
Also, N as a Zoroark is a no-no for me. How would he learn to talk - TR Meowth-style? Plus, to look like N, the Zoroark would have to have seen someone exactly like N to create his image - you've probably never seen Zorua/Zoroark transform into something/someone you've never seen in Pokémon (especially in the Anime)
There is more I could discuss about the N/Zoroark thing, but not in this post

Ghetsis is N's uncle. He wanted someone to be the king of Unova, but because he's Ghetsis/people would be suspicious he couldn't just have a son himself. So he got his own brother/daughter to abandon their child. How? Ghetsis got his Hydreigon to try and kill them, and in a hurry they lost their son. Or he paid off someone(probably one of the sages) to be an assassin who would target N, and without his parents would not become a target. Or far worse, Hydreigon ate his mother and father. I choose the third option, because I love Ghetsis for being the savvy and utter sociopath that he is.
